Application filed September 20, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FLoRIAN JoNIsH, of the village of Wavy Creek, in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sleigh-Runners, of which the following is the specification.

My invention relates to improvements in sleigh runners and the object of the invention is to devise simple, strong, durable means for securing the bolster to the runners which will be cheap to manufacture and which will have a certain amount of free play thereby eliminating strain liable to weaken the structure and it consists essentially of a sleigh runner, a pair of standards carried thereby having vertical opposing ribs, a free block having vertical ribs and an intervening groove into which the verti cal ribs of the standards extend and a bolster end provided with corresponding ribs and intervening grooves into which the ribs of the standards are also designed to extend and plates secured to the top of the standards and extending over the bolster as hereinafter more particularly explained by the following specification.

Figure 1, is a general perspective view of a sleigh runner showing my bolster attachment. Fig. 2, is a vertical section through that portion of Fig. 1 adjacent to the bolster. Fig. 3, is a sectional view on line ac y Fig. 2. Fig. 4c, is a plan section on line w3 Fig.

2. Fig. 5, is a perspective detail of the bolster end. Fig. 6, is a perspective detail of one of the standards carried by the sleigh runner. Fig. 7, is a perspective detail of the free block held between the standards.

In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

1 indicates a sleigh runner.

2 and 3 indicate standards provided with depending lugs 4 and 1* extending to each side of the sleigh runner and through which a bolt 5 extends securing the standards to the runner.

6 indicates a lug also extending from each of the standards and resting upon the top of the runner 1.

7 indicates a bolt extending through the Specification of Letters Patent.

lugs 6 and through the runner, being secured by a nut 8.

9 indicates a vertical rib extending from the inner face of each standard 2 and 3.

10 indicates a block designed to be inserted between the standards 2 and 3. On the face of the block 10 opponng the standards 2 and 3 are vertical ribs 10 and 10 and an intervening groove 10 into which the rib 9 is designed to extend. The block 10 is slid vertically into position between the standards 2 and 3.

11 indicates the bolster end provided with vertical ribs 11 and 11 and intervenin grooves 11 into which the ribs 9 also extend. The bolster end is slid vertically into position upon the top of the free block 10.

12 indicates a plate which extends over the bolster and rests upon the top of the standards 2 and 3.

13 indicates tapered bolts extending through the plate 12 and the standards 2 and 3 and sleigh runner 1 being secured by nuts 13.

From this description it will be seen that there is no rigid connection between the bolster and runner and there will, therefore, be acertain amount of free play which will prevent racking strain which would have a tendency to loosen rigidly connected parts and yet at the same time I have provided a construction which will be strong and durable and not likely to get out of order.

What I claim as my invention is:

The combination with a sleigh runner, of a pair of standards carried by the sleigh runner having vertical opposing ribs, a block carried by the sleigh runner between the standards and having grooves into which the vertical ribs of the standards extend, a bolster end resting upon the block and also provided with vertical grooves into which the ribs of the standards extend, a plate extending between the top of the standards, and vertical bolts extending through the plate, standards and sleigh runner.
